I am off Abilify now, I was taking a small dose to boost the antidepressants. The meds that I take per my pdoc are to help with anxiety and depression. The depression was so bad that we just kept throwing different meds at it to see if anything would help. Nothing did, really. Time and a lot of therapy have helped. I also had tinnitus as well as weight gain/metabolic syndrome from the Abilify.
I agree that therapy is needed for personality disorders, although there seems to be a fair amount of pessimism that even therapy will help. The article that was linked on this forum was the first I have seen that talked about meds being helpful for SPD. I haven't seen anything about meds for my other PDs.
